NHS comments and complaints available to MPs

9th July 2010

A patient website will be extended to allow MPs to have easy access to patients’ comments and complaints about the NHS in their constituency.

The Patient Opinion website, where patients leave comments about their care, announced changes to allow MPs to collect and read what is written about services relevant to them. MPs will also be able to leave responses to comments. Patient Opinion said the moved was part of “a new era in assessing and dealing with taxpayer opinion”.
